This solicitation is a funding opportunity for Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs).

All proposers must receive an official invitation via the Concept Outline process to submit a full proposal to this solicitation. The Concept Outline gives NSF the ability to review for appropriateness to the program objectives prior to the full proposal submission process, ensuring that proposers do not expend time or resources preparing full proposals that do not have strong potential to be responsive to the program objectives as found in solicitation-specific review criteria. Details regarding this process as well as how to submit a Concept Outline can be found in section V.A of this document.

The ExpandAI program has recurring submission windows. Unlike deadlines, submission windows allow proposers the flexibility to submit a full proposal at any time during the specific dates listed at the top of this document. On each submission window closing date, the proposal submission system will shut down at 5:00 p.m. submitter’s local time. The system will then reopen for new submissions the morning of the next window, with the exception of the final submission window.

Innovating and migrating proposal preparation and submission capabilities from FastLane to Research.gov is part of the ongoing NSF information technology modernization efforts, as described in Important Notice No. 147. In support of these efforts, proposals submitted in response to this program solicitation must be prepared and submitted via Research.gov or via Grants.gov and may not be prepared or submitted via FastLane. Due to the unique nature of this program, full proposal preparation and submission through Research.gov is strongly encouraged.

Any proposal submitted in response to this solicitation should be submitted in accordance with the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) that is in effect for the relevant due date to which the proposal is being submitted. The NSF PAPPG is regularly revised and it is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets the requirements specified in this solicitation and the applicable version of the PAPPG. Submitting a proposal prior to a specified deadline does not negate this requirement.

With this solicitation, NIJ seeks applications for funding for investigator-initiated research examining how observed racial and ethnic disparities in the justice system might be reduced through public policy interventions at any point during the administration of justice from two categories of researchers:

1. Category 1: W.E.B. Du Bois Scholars – Researchers who are advanced in their careers (awarded a terminal degree at least seven years prior to December 31, 2022) may apply for grants for research, evaluation, and mentoring of less-experienced researchers.
2. Category 2: W.E.B. Du Bois Fellows – Researchers who are early in their careers (awarded a terminal degree within seven years of December 31, 2022) may apply for grants for research and evaluation.

The William T. Grant Scholars Program supports career development for promising early-career researchers. The program funds five-year research and mentoring plans that significantly expand researchers’ expertise in new disciplines, methods, and content areas.

Applicants should have a track record of conducting high-quality research and an interest in pursuing a significant shift in their trajectories as researchers. We recognize that early-career researchers are rarely given incentives or support to take measured risks in their work, so this award includes a mentoring component, as well as a supportive academic community.

Awards are based on applicants’ potential to become influential researchers, as well as their plans to expand their expertise in new and significant ways. The application should make a cohesive argument for how the applicant will expand his or her expertise. The research plan should evolve in conjunction with the development of new expertise, and the mentoring plan should describe how the proposed mentors will support applicants in acquiring that expertise. Proposed research plans must address questions that are relevant to policy and practice in the Foundation’s focus areas.

A funding opportunity unlike any other! The National Academy of Medicine’s Healthy Longevity Catalyst Awards is accepting bold, new ideas to promote health throughout the lifespan. Two-page narrative applications accepted through February 27, 2023, at 11:59 pm EST. Individuals and teams from all disciplines and sectors, including Public Health with novel ideas to extend human health and well-being, at any stage of life, are invited to apply. The competition is simple—a 2-page narrative submission is all it takes to be considered for an award worth $50K, plus exclusive access to additional funding opportunities.
